It's Not What It Looks Like!Cawl wrote two years ago, "People seem to have a knack for walking in at just the wrong time:
"Well, my clothes got wet, so did his... Yes, officer, huddling together to conserve body heat... Yes officer, he's five... No Officer... I'm not his Dad."
What have you done that, in retrospect, you'd really rather nobody had seen, mostly as things just get worse the more you try to explain it?

A true narrative of what happened to my brother and his girlfriendSo my brother takes his girlfriend camping. They are both in their mid forties, my mum had two marriages and I'm the youngest of the latter one.
Anywho they set off for the camping site with tent and air bed and other camping paraphernalia and when they arrive it's quite quiet. They pitch the tent in a nice quiet little spot and decide to go for a walk to the local shops to buy some wine and beers. They get back and proceed to get rather merry in the tent and time goes by so it ends up being quite late by the time they think about going to sleep and fail to notice, whilst using the portaloos, that the camp site has filled up and their nice quiet spot is not so quiet anymore.
Well his girlfriend insists that they must blow up the airbed now, even though that are both rather well pickled. She couldnt possibly sleep on the floor for one night. So my brother starts blowing up the inflatable mattress. Once it's nearly done he asks her how firm she wants the bed to be.
Brother: how's that?
Gf: oh it's getting quite firm now, can you get it a bit harder?
B: sure I can. (pause) how about now?
Gf: oh that's lovely and hard now. I don't like them soft. Do you think it'll stay up all night?
B: well if you don't flop up and down on it too much it shouldnt go down too much. Just try and be a bit gentle. I haven't used it in a while so I'm not sure how it will behave, it might leak.
So off to sleep they go. In the morning they wake up and are getting various looks from their camping neighbours. Looks ranging from amusement to disgust. Sure it had been late when they put the bed up but not so late that all those camping close enough had heard the entire exchange, innocent as it may have been. They are not sure why they are getting these looks until they think back through the fog of the hangover to the night before and realisation dawns. They moved their tent that morning.
To this day if I want to embarrass my brother I just have to mention blow up beds.
